Books by W.
David Dickson

"When I
found David's book I felt as if I'd dropped into The Big Rock Candy
Mountain. The text is solid; the maps
terrific. Combined with the late William
Y'Blood's charts of each of the major raids on 19 June, a much-much
better
grasp of unfolding events is possible than via the USN primacy sources.

Just goes
to prove that History owes a great deal to folks who write without the
benefit
(or encumbrance) of a bunch of letters behind their names." Barrett
Tillman, author of Clash of the
Carriers

Books by Vincent P. O'Hara

"[Struggle for the Middle Sea] is an
important work which will be a necessary point of reference for any
serious student of the operational history of the Mediterranean sea
war. It achieves its goal of reassessing sea battles on the basis of
the evidence and not through long-standing and unquestioned prejudice."
Derek Law, University of Strathelyde in The Mariner's Mirror, May 2010.

"The
U.S. Navy Against the Axis helps to fill a void in the history
of the Second World War and will prove valuable to any student of naval
history." Benjamin Armstrong, Journal of Military History, July 2008.

Books by
Richard Worth

"With a substantial library of good books on the fighting ships of the
last century and a half, I am glad to add Richard
Worth’s Fleets of World War II
to my collection."--Frank Uhlig, Jr., Naval War College.

"Fleets of World War II
probably represents the best single-volume comprehensive treatment of
World War II warships available today."--William Jurens, Warship
International.

"In a perfect world, the information contained in [Shadow of the Battleship] would be
standard in other books on the subject, but since it isn't,
Worth's book is a nice complement to books like Conway's."--Christopher
Weuve, naval analyst

"Raising the Red Banner is a
thoroughly accessible, readable, and affordable introduction to a
complex, fascinating and
unfairly neglected subject."--Stephen Dent, Warship 2009
